Abstract
This paper introduces a reverse engineering tool, JBOORET (Jade Bird Object-Oriented Reverse Engineering Tool). This tool is developed by adopting a parser-based approach to assist the activity of extracting the higher-level design and source models from system artifacts. A conceptual model is formulated as the knowledge representation. Multi-perspective design and source models are recovered by JBOORET based on the comprehensive program information extracted from source code. Its flexible user interface can assist users to browse the detailed information of design and source models by using the selection and compaction mechanism. This paper discusses the design principles and decisions of JBOORET and describes its implementation.
